The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contract Office 21, intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Mayo Collaborative Services, Inc. for specialized laboratory medical testing services, with a base year and up to four additional option years, based on the determination that Mayo is the only authorized provider capable of performing the required tests. These services include highly specialized assays such as neuromyelitis optica/Aquaporin-4 FACS IgG titer, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein FACS titer, glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody testing in spinal fluid, and several other neural and paraneoplastic antibody analyses performed on serum and body fluids.

Interested parties may respond if they believe they can meet the requirements outlined in the attached Statement of Work, but must submit both their capabilities and an explicit authorization letter from Mayo Collaborative Services, Inc. to angela.gerlitzki1@va.gov no later than July 24, 2026, at 10 a.m. PST.
